"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly."-Pres. Thomas S. Monson

Dear Mom-

I have realized over the past 8 ½ years as a mother that
there are many, many times where I feel invisible.No matter how many times I ask, beg, and
plead for the kids to put their clothes in the hamper, I still find myself
picking up dirty socks from under the bed and putting them there myself.I make countless meals without being thanked,
clean laundry is folded and put away without anyone noticing that it took the
entire day to do it, and as soon as I clean up the front room I no sooner turn around
to realized that a 2 year-old-tornado left devastation in her wake.

It is the life of a mother.

So, from one mother to another, I have been thinking what I
can give you for your birthday to show you how much I love you.I don’t have a fancy trinket or trip planned
(although I wish we had the latter!), but I do have this- I want you to know
that I have been paying attention.
